Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) is one of America’s most read authors, and he is widely considered one of the premier authors of children’s books. Baum wrote dozens of novels and short stories, as well as hundreds of poems, and he even foresaw technological innovations such as computers, televisions and mobile phones, all of which made their way into his writing.
Baum, however, is still best known and best regarded for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and several other titles that took place in the fantasy world of Oz. Every American is familiar with Dorothy and Toto, and Oz has been adapted for movies, screenplays, and more ever since.
Baum humorously “protested” in one of the Oz books that children were so enthralled with Oz that they didn’t want him to write about anything else. But Baum did write a handful of Christmas stories, including several about Santa Claus, including A Kidnapped Santa Claus and The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.
This edition of Baum’s The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Baum, his life, and his characters.
